Brescia imam: “In our Islam, after age 9, a girl becomes a woman.”
An “Italian” imam named Ali Kashif went on TV and announced that girls who have reached nine years of age may be considered women, and are appropriate marriage material. The Italian government reacted in an sensible manner and expelled him from the country, putting him on a flight to his native Pakistan.

Brescia: Imam and comments on child brides: Expelled
Shocking documentary: Brescia imam says yes to child brides.
He said that according to Islam, after the age of 9, girls are suitable to marry. These words, spoken by the Brescia imam Ali Kashif into the microphones of the program “Out of the box”, have earned him expulsion from the country. It was the Interior Minister Matteo Piantedosi who made the notification: “He had claimed that a girl, after the age of 9, could be considered an adult and therefore could marry, in effect, legitimizing the phenomenon of so-called child brides. Subsequent to the expulsion order, he was placed on a flight from Milan’s Malpensa Airport and sent back to his country of origin.”
Originally from Pakistan, Kashif had emphasized the legitimacy, according to the Koran, of marriage with young girls: “The Islamic religion says that if the parents are happy and both are in agreement, they can marry even at the age of 9. In our Islam, after 9 years, a girl becomes an adult. In the Koran, it says that it can be done.” The order was carried out by the police headquarters of Brescia on the instruction of the Ministry of Interior, which made the decision, citing reasons of security, the lack of a residence permit of the person in question, and his incompatibility with constitutional values.
From Fratelli d’Italia [Brothers of Italy, the party of Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni], Member of Parliament Riccardo De Corato expressed “full support for the measure” in the face of “very serious statements”, to which the State must react “with firmness and without any hesitation”. And he added: “Whoever thinks they can, in our country, justify barbaric practices, contrary to the dignity of the individual, the rights of minors, and fundamental principles of our legal system, needs to know that in Italy there is no room for fanaticism, for extremism, and for whoever disseminates messages incompatible with our legal system. The action taken by the police commissioner is an act that is just, necessary, and in accordance with his duty. The protection and care of minors, the security of citizens, and the defense of the law come before all.”
